One thing you might try is use Windows disk management in the administrative tools section of control to partition the large thumb drive with a first fat32 partition that is 2 or 4 GB - if your whole drive is fat32 you should just be able to shrink it down to a size that may work.  If it isn't fat32, delete the partition and create a smaller partition that is.  Then you can create a 2nd or more partitions after that one for NTFS or whatever.

I had an issue where a thumb drive was needed to upgrade firmware in an Agilent digital scope but we didn't have appropriate thumb drives, so I took a 1 TB USB spinning hard drive and partitioned with the first partition being a small fat32 partition with the firmware cab file and it worked great.

If you try this and it works, please let us know.
